So cool, thanks for sharing! Some other fun stats, from the SourceForge project: * 0.9.35 (all platforms) has been downloaded 8,220 times in the last week (~10,900 since release on 2025-05-25) * 0.9.34 (all platforms) was downloaded ~302,000 times since the beginning of the year * Tux Paint in general (any version, any platform) was downloaded ~833,850 times in the last 365 days That's somewhere in the ~2,000/day range. You can dig around yourself: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxpaint/files/tuxpaint/stats/timeline (you can use "Change file" to pick subdirectories, like "0.9.35", or even individual files -- you can also look at Stamps & Config). Flathub has a graphical chart (no way to actually get the numbers without hacking some JavaScript, I guess ;-( ), which only goes back about 6 months, showing installs. (Click "Statistics" on https://flathub.org/apps/org.tuxpaint.Tuxpaint) Tux Paint seems to have 50, +/-25, per day. So that could be something in the 18,000 range per year, if we just assume it averages out to 50/day and multiply that by 365. (This doesn't say how many people _use_ Tux Paint regularly, or how long they keep it installed.) Snapcraft does not seem to provide stats. Haiku Depot shows "Version Views", which I assume are all-time, and come out to about 90 for 0.9.35 so far. I assume that's webpage views? I couldn't any download / install / usage stats anywhere else -- OpenBSD sites, Fedora Project, Slackbuilds, OpenSUSE software repo, Debian and Ubuntu package repos, NetBSD pkgsrc site, or FreeBSD FreshPorts or Ports Collection sites. If anyone knows where to find anything, let me know! Anyway, as I'm sure we all know, there's a big gap in our knowledge of how many downloads/installs there have been, since there are so many places and ways to download and install Tux Paint! Obviously some of the platforms listed above have more users than others, and some are more focused on end users (vs servers) than others. And then some of the platforms focused on end users might more frequently used as desktop environments for children than others. It's doubtful many will have numbers anywhere as high as Android, or the SourceForge downloads of Windows builds, so they're probably more of a "drop in the bucket", by comparison. On top of that, there are a lot of 3rd party websites that mirror downloads of free (as in beer) software (shareware, public domain, and open source / free software). Most of those sites will be focused on the two big desktop platforms: Windows and macOS. I certainly don't know about all of those sites, let alone track any them. Therefore, I have no clue, for example, how many _more_ downloads of Tux Paint for Windows there are. I just know about the gobs of them we have at SourceForge. (Most of that traffic is undoubtedly coming directly from the Tux Paint website.) Wild, right!? -bill! |

Thanks to Pere! Without him there would be no Android Store version, his help is crucial :) Here's the stats on Play Store since release in 2022. The app is averaging ~90k total install base, with ~73k MAU. This is a huge audience, very cool! [image: image.png] I've also attached a CSV file with the same data, if you're interested. Thanks.

> Those versions of OS X are 12 and 13 years old, and support ended 8 and 9 years ago. And they can run on some Macintosh computers released in 2007 so we're supporting machines going back about 18 years. For comparison, the latest Linux kernel (6.15) just dropped its support for 486. It can run on Pentium (1993 — 32 years ago) and later, so our support duration is only about half of what the Linux kernel supports, but we also have a smaller team so I think we're doing ok :) On Mon, May 26, 2025 at 6:58 PM Bill Kendrick <nb...@so...> wrote: > On Mon, May 26, 2025 at 04:15:54PM -0400, Mark Kim wrote: > > Hi Bill, > > > > > I guess it wasn't an issue at the time you built the -rc1 beta last > > > month!? > > > > It was an issue back then, too, but the solution was to just build it on > my > > old mac. > > ... which was the same solution this time, except I forgot what I did > last > > time so I just documented the solution. > > ;-) > > > > ... plus added some code to build it on newer macs (at the cost of > > sacrificing support for older macOS versions) for when my old mac > > eventually dies. > > ...and you install Linux on it, hehe. > > > > > can you double check that the following is still accurate? > > > > Tux Paint and Tux Paint Config support macOS 10.8 Mountain Lion and > above. > > The Stamps Installer supports macOS 10.9 Mavericks and above. > > All support both Apple Silicon and Intel CPUs.

Hi Bill, > I guess it wasn't an issue at the time you built the -rc1 beta last month!? It was an issue back then, too, but the solution was to just build it on my old mac. ... which was the same solution this time, except I forgot what I did last time so I just documented the solution. ... plus added some code to build it on newer macs (at the cost of sacrificing support for older macOS versions) for when my old mac eventually dies. > can you double check that the following is still accurate? Tux Paint and Tux Paint Config support macOS 10.8 Mountain Lion and above. The Stamps Installer supports macOS 10.9 Mavericks and above. All support both Apple Silicon and Intel CPUs. You can drop the "M<number>" moniker.
